The foregoing process is the “Change Control Process.” Client requests to change the Services necessitated by a change to the Client’s Organic Documents, Prospectus, Offering Documents, or Policies and Procedures, or a change in applicable Law, will be subject to the Change Control Process. Without prejudice to the Change Control Process, the Client will promptly notify the Service Provider of any changes (or pending changes) in applicable Law with respect to the Client that are relevant to the Services. The Service Provider shall promptly notify the Client of any change in Law or market practice of which it determines will have a material impact on the provision of the Services or the performance of the Service Provider's obligations under this Agreement and any proposed changes in fees will be subject to the Change Control Process.

In order to permit the Service Provider to provide the Services, the Client agrees to provide, and to cause its employees and current and immediately preceding Agents to provide, to the Service Provider the information that the Service Provider may reasonably request in connection with the Services and this Agreement, including, without limitation, any of the Organic Documents, Prospectus, Offering Documents and Policies and Procedures of the Client and any amendments thereto. As a party to the Authorized Participant Agreements, the Service Provider, in its role as Transfer Agent, agrees to review and respond to any requests for modification or amendment to the Authorized Participant Agreements initiated by the Client or the Client’s Distributor within 10 days of receipt. Further, where such modification or amendment to an Authorized Participant Agreement does not directly change the Service Provider’s obligations or processes in its role as Transfer Agent, Service Provider agrees that consent to such modification or amendment will not be unreasonably withheld.

2.6

Use of Agents. The Service Provider is permitted to appoint Agents without the consent of the Client to perform any of the duties of the Service Provider under this Agreement. The Service Provider will use reasonable care in the selection, oversight, and continued appointment of its Agents.

Other Services and Activities; Conflicts of Interest.

2.7.1

The Client acknowledges that the Service Provider and its Affiliates may provide services, including administration, advisory, banking and lending, broker dealer and other financial services, to the Client or to other Persons. The Client also acknowledges that the Service Provider may be (i) prohibited under applicable Law or contractually from disclosing to the Client any fact that may come to the knowledge of the Service Provider or such Affiliates in the course of providing such services and (ii) “walled off” from facts or things that may come to the knowledge of its Affiliates in the course of providing such services, and therefore may be unable to make any such disclosures to the Client, and the Client agrees that neither the Service Provider nor such Affiliates will be required or expected under this Agreement to do so.

2.7.2

Among other things, the Service Provider or an Affiliate, in the course of activities unrelated to the Services under this Agreement, may receive or generate valuation information with respect to securities, products or services of the Client, and neither the Service Provider nor any Affiliate is under any obligation to disclose such information to the Client or any of the Client’s Investors. The Client acknowledges that neither the Service Provider nor any Affiliate is under any obligation to use any such information to assess or verify the accuracy of any information, including valuation information, that the Service Provider receives from the Client or from any Person specified in clause 6.3.5 but the Service Provider’s acts or omissions are subject to the standard of care under clause 6.1 of this Agreement.

2.7.3

Subject to compliance with its confidentiality obligations hereunder, the Service Provider may acquire, hold or deal with, for its own account or for the account of other Persons, any shares or securities in which the Client is authorized to invest (for itself or its Investors), and the Service Provider will not be required to account to the Client for any profit arising therefrom.

2.8

AML/OFAC. The Service Provider agrees that it accepts the roles and responsibilities as delegated to it by Client in Schedule 2 to provide services relating to Client’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance under the USA PATRIOT Act or compliance with any regulations or Executive Orders administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) in connection with the services provided under this Agreement.

On reasonable request, the Client will provide the Service Provider with information regarding its sanctions systems and controls and its compliance with this representation.

2.9

Withholding Taxes. Client acknowledges that Service Provider is not responsible pursuant to this Agreement for the withholding, deduction or payment of any U.S. federal withholding taxes unless specifically agreed to by the Service Provider and set forth in Schedule 2 or agreed to by the Parties in a subsequent written amendment, in which case, such Services shall be subject to section 6 of this Agreement. Client nevertheless acknowledges that Service Provider or other relevant parties (including counterparties or Investors) may be required by applicable Law to pay, withhold or deduct amounts in respect of taxes in connection with the Services, and that such amounts may be due even where there is no corresponding payment of cash to Client or where there is a payment of cash from Client to a counterparty, Investor, or other person. Upon notification by the Service Provider and acknowledgement of such notification by the Client, the Client authorizes Service Provider to pay, withhold or deduct any such amounts to the extent required by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to Client or any counterparty or Investor in respect of such payment, deduction or withholding. If Service Provider determines that taxes are due in connection with the Services and have not been paid (through withholding or otherwise), Service Provider shall notify Client of such unpaid taxes and Client shall promptly make a payment in respect of such taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and shall deliver to Service Provider the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Service Provider.
